Too Many Friends (MTV Unplugged) Lyrics
[Intro]
I'd like to say a few words about this guitar, I call this guitar my baby. It's from 1956, and it's the guitar that I do most of my writing, and I absolutely adore it. And it's beautifully damaged. It's a Japanese concept called "Wabi Sabi" which means that perfection is in the imperfection. And the way this guitar looks represents that perfectly I think. Thank you
[Verse 1]
My computer thinks I'm gay
I threw that piece of junk away
On the Champs-Elysées
As I was walking home
This is my last communique
Down the superhighway
All that I have left to say in a single tome
[Chorus]
I got too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
Cause I'll never be there
[Verse 2]
If I could give it all away
Would it come back to me someday
Like a needle in the hay or an expensive stone
But I got a reason to declaim
The applications are to blame
For all my sorrow and my pain
A feeling so alone

[Verse 3]
My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway
When all you people do all day
Is stare into a phone
[Chorus]
I got too many friends
Too many people that I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
Too many friends

I'll never be there
I'll never be there
I'll never be there
I'll never be there
Thank you
Thank you very much
I'll never be there
I'll never be there
I'll never be there
Thank you
Thank you very much
